MODALS IN PAST

 Past modals with have

EXPLANATION


http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/grammar-reference/modals-%E2%80%93-deduction-pasthttp://www2.cambridge.org/interchangearcade/launch.do?activityID=521&level=2&unit=15&type=Cup_sentence_ordering&stage=2
http://www.brays-ingles.com/gramatica-ingles-modals.html

Using modal verbs to talk about the past:

must / might / could / may / can't + have + past participle

• must have + past participle
• might / might not have + past participle
• could / couldn’t have + past participle
• may / may not have + past participle
• can’t have + past participle

For example:

You: Where was Julie last night?
David:

• She must have forgotten about our date.
• She might have worked late.
• She could have taken the wrong bus.
• She may have felt ill.
• She can’t have stayed at home.

Some past modals can be formed by using have + the past participle of the main verb immediately after the modal. (should have, could have, would have, etc.)
However, since modals express possibility, intention, obligation, etc., they do not always indicate a definite tense. Therefore, when using past modals with have, special meanings need to be considered.

I should go to the funeral. I should have gone to the funeral. Lex might take Karen to the airport. Lex might have taken Karen to the airport. Lex could have taken Karen to the airport. Lex would have taken Karen to the airport. Otis didn't come to work yesterday. He had to take care of his children. His children must have been sick.

(I feel an obligation to go--later.) (I didn't go. Now I regret it.) (It's a future possibility.) (He may be on his way there now.) (Most likely he didn't.) (He didn't. He had an excuse.) (past fact) (past obligation) (conjecture about the past)

PINK FLOYD "I WISH YOU WERE HERE"

LYRICS

SO, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL
HEAVEN FROM HELL
BLUE SKIES FROM PAIN
CAN YOU TELL A GREEN FIELD
FROM A COLD STEEL RAIL?.
A SMILE FROM A VEIL?
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL?
AND DID THEY GET TOU TO TRADE
YOUR HEROS FOR GHOSTS?
HOT ASHES FOR TREES?
HOT AIR FOR A COOL BREEZE?
COLD COMFORT FOR CHANGE?
AND DID YOU EXCHANGE
A WALK FOR A PART IN THE WAR
FOR A LEAD ROLE IN A CAGE?

HOW I WISH, HOW I WISH YOU WERE HERE
WE´RE JUST TWO LOST SOULS
SWIMMING IN A FISH BOWL!
YEAR AFTER YEAR.
RUNNING OVER THE
SAME OLD GROUND.
WHAT HAVE WE FOUND?
THE SAME OLD FEARS.
WISH YOU WERE HERE.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

The story of The Phantom of the Opera has inspired many artists... if you like metal music you will enjoy this song played by Iron Maiden, if you don't like this kind of music you can practice English and appreciate a different perspective of the book.

Hope you enjoy it!

LYRICS:

 PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask.
And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last.
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past.

You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall.
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all.
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul.
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call.

Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait.
Don't you stray, don't fade away.
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may.
Don't you stray, from the narrow way.

I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare.
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air.
Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair.
